As we enter a post-pandemic world and a possible recession looms, anxiety is at an all time high for employers and employees alike. In return, productivity can become a challenge. However, putting positive pressure on employees and listening to employee feedback can allow for employee growth and productivity.

So says Rob Catalano, CSO of WorkTango, an employee experience platform that warrants employee recognition and insights through surveys and feedback.

Why is employee productivity top of mind for business leaders amid economic downturns?

To operate a successful organization in these uncertain times, leaders must ensure that everyone is aligned with the most critical business priorities. It's on business leaders' minds because if there's a lack of focus on key priorities, organizations can find themselves in situations where companies may slow growth or have to be in a place to cut critical costs, including talent.
